Motivation Like most people, I've been playing with agents to see where they're helpful, where they're not, and what kind of workflows are a good match for me. One area I've found friction is in iterating on a piece of code - written by me or otherwise. I can describe the relevant section and my question/request in command line chat, but it would be better to do so directly inline and have the LLM pick it up. at-agent is a super minimal approach for picking out such directives from your worktree and processing them. This is very much a "worse is better" approach. A separate structured channel for attaching questions or requests to spans of code would have advantages. But that requires an interface for creating and editing such annotations as well as logic for handling edits after the annotation was made.
